The Role of CYP2E1 in the Drug Metabolism or Bioactivation in the Brain

Abstract: Organisms have metabolic pathways that are responsible for removing toxic agents. We always associate the liver as the major organ responsible for detoxification of the body; however this process occurs in many tissues. In the same way, as in the liver, the brain expresses metabolic pathways associated with the elimination of xenobiotics. Besides the detoxifying role of CYP2E1 for compounds such as electrophilic agents, reactive oxygen species, free radical products, and the bioactivation of xenobiotics, CYP2E… Show more

“…Pyrethroids are metabolised by oxidation mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes (37). In the brain, it is CYP2E1 that acts against environmental chemicals and plays a vital role in neuronal detoxification (68,69). However, its overexpression in the brain tissue, as reported by Galal et al after deltamethrin treatment (25), could increase the risk of neurotoxicity.…”

“…NAV2 localizes in the nucleus and cytoplasm and may play a role in processes of cellular outgrowth and migration (Peeters et al ., ). Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is highly expressed in rat brain mitochondria, and is also found in different cell compartments, including astrocytic end‐feet (Garcia‐Suastegui et al ., ) where S100B is abundant (Fig. ).…”

“…It is known that individuals with low NQO1 activity and high CYP2E1 activity would potentially be more susceptible to the toxic effects of xenobiotic than those with low CYP2E1 and high NQO1 activities [ 21 ]. GST(M1/T1) is involved in the detoxification of a wide variety of potentially toxic and carcinogenic electrophiles by conjugating them to glutathione [ 22 ] and enhancing xenobiotic solubility which facilitates its elimination [ 23 ].…”
